The DVD calls this Teaser 2. The first
teaser was LOTR focused and is referred to here as
LOTR Teaser #1. This one,
FOTR focused, I called FOTR Teaser #2. But some people refer to it
as the first FOTR Teaser.

There are musical 'sound effects' that sound very much like
McKennitt's "Mystic's Dream". And there is a high woman's voice that
can be heard that might or might not be Loreena McKennitt. But I've
gone in and dissected both the teaser trailer and "Mystic's Dream"
and I can't find exact matches between the two. I don't know if they
created their own similar sound effects and credited McKennitt for
the source inspiration. Or if they had access to material from
McKennitt's recording files including material not included in
"Mystic's Dream". Or if I'm just being dense and can't find the
matches. Similar sounds are heard in the
ROTK Trailer
#1 but McKennitt is not credited there. I
suspect this was created for the trailer without
McKennitt's participation and perhaps the credit
is just due to a fan's observation.

0:31-0:33

no
music or sound effects

0:33-1:00

vague music & sound effects
(see note)

Soundtrack.net lists Original Trailer Music by Nielsen & Giacchino.
I would assume that this would surely include the later part of this
section. The earlier part is quite vague and it's possible that
Nielsen & Giacchino did this as well, but I don't know and feel less
confident assuming.

On May 4, 2001,
Xoanon reported that Ringer Spy SS had seen the trailer
which had been completed just the day before. They said the
trailer was due out in theaters (and hopefully online) --- I'm
not sure if this 'online' statement was that of SS or of Xoanon
--- within a few weeks.

On May 6,
there was some confirmation it would be attached to Pearl Harbor
due to be released on May 25. This report seems to indicate that
the previous LOTR Teaser might have still been running in some
theaters since the theater manager said, "New Line has pulled
the trailer for a few weeks and will be getting a new one..."

May 11,
Calisuri says that Mark Ordesky has confirmed a new FOTR
trailer would be released soon.

NewLine provides a
"Two Days Left" Banner.

May 23.
News starts trickling in on where the trailer might be
playing, for example, "the new FOTR trailer will definitely be
playing with 2 out of the 5 prints of "Pearl Harbor" that will
be starting there on Friday. "
A Trailer Release Date page gets created to keep track of
the info. On it are sensible things to keep in mind:

1. Call ahead and
ask. The 'real' phone number is usually at the end of the
voice recording number.
2. Ask about the show time you are going to see. Some prints
of Pearl Harbor might not be showing the trailer. Don't go
until you know.
3. Refunds. In the off chance you don't see the trailer,
remember that most theaters don't give refunds. Ask before
you go.
4. Go Early. Pearl Harbor is a big summer film. Remember to
account for long lines.

Gandalf the Grey is a wanderer and survives a
number of long journeys by foot and horseback –
he is rarely sitting out of harm’s way in his
pony-trap. So of course he gets dusty and dirty,
without benefit of wayside washrooms. Haggard
perhaps to look at but that doesn’t stop his
being gentle or paternal when appropriate.

Also, a number
of people noticed that members of the Fellowship seem to
be startled when they hear Gollum whisper, "My
Precioussssssss....". This is clearly an editing trick
as it didn't happen in the movie.

Some interesting, humorous, or mistaken observations.
(most of these found on the screenshot analysis pages)

One early reviewer said there was a shot
of
"Shot of
the Companions on a boat, in a murky river".
I think she's talking about this shot of
Lórien.

For this shot, someone wrote, "If you look
closely here,
you can see the other hobbits having lunch
on the ground behind (Frodo)."
lol.... not quite. Although, it is a Hobbit
and food moment, I guess.

This shot is believed to be the Ring sitting
on the table at the Council of Elrond.
We now know it's the floor of Bag End.

This scene baffled people for awhile
until someone
noticed that the Moria Orcs had spikey
helmets.
People thought it might be Gollum.

Scenes that
were eventually proven to be unused.

the woods

Two screenshots of what is surely the
skirmish with Orcs in Lórien.
The comment from Gnosis is, "If you watch
the arrow in Quicktime you will note that
the arrow is SHOT AT the Orcs - the Elves of
Lórien are in front and shoot right past the
Fellowship - I think this is the moment they
are 'saved' by the Elves."
